Check out this neon sign for the Sombrero Motel in Las Vegas. What better
place for a siesta than an ol' Sombrero?
Well, like all good things (and signs), the look of this place has changed
over the years. In this case, the motel took on a bird
name.

Most recently a Korean BBQ restaurant sat in its place. Unfortunately,
this grand sign was recently razed and replaced with a jewel of a backlit
plastic sign. Jewel? Not. Another Vegas landmark has now become a memory. 05-08 |
